Turbulent Secluded Coves Along TWIN FALLS Trail - Whitecaps Highlight Emerald Green Sunlit Pools

Another amazing and somewhat challenging journey on the Twin Falls trail! This time the purpose was to capture the turbulent side of my favorite secluded Twin Falls trail Coves. These sunlit whitecap coves were especially turbulent and beautiful today! You'll see glimpses of crystal blue sky high above! Captured a bird scouring the rocks for breakfast.
Getting to the upper cove is a bit of a challenge but worth the risk! You really need to watch your step on this one! This "offroad" adventure is pretty sketchy and precarious overlooking the river WAY below!
On your return trip I recommend slowing WAY down as you near the parking lot, taking time to soak in the abundant wildflower!
Twin Falls is located inside Olallie State Park
Washington is known around the world for its forests, lakes and waterfalls.
Twin Falls Washington is the tallest waterfall along the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River in King County. It’s the third tallest on any branch of the Snoqualmie after Kanim Falls and Snoqualmie Falls. It’s only 15 miles from Snoqualmie Pass, which makes it one of the closest waterfalls to Snoqualmie Summit on I-90. Both trailheads are just off I-90, making it an easy “break hike”.
There are actually three sections of falls that together comprise “Twin” Falls. The first section is two drops totaling 45 feet and ending up in a large bowl. This section is mostly invisible from the trail due to the shape of the gorge. The second series is the two stepped 30-foot fall upstream from the long trail bridge crossing the river. A 20-foot fall occurs directly under the bridge. Last is the big horsetail drop of 135 feet over a rock protrusion.
